Prima 6

I have never seen these in our local scrapbook store, but that isn't saying much! I NEVER go there! I have had so much going on with getting ready for the fall jewelry shows and just life in general, with four kids, that I can't even seem to get near that place! I do hope to get there soon, though, they have a Cricut Cartridge I want sooooooo bad!

ANYHOO... on a PRIMA NOTE: these are called CANDIES! Isn't that just the sweetest??

This is the GUMMI: $14.00 a bucket of flowers, ribbons and rhinestones...

This is the SUGAR: $14.00 a bucket of flowers, ribbons and rhinestones...

and last but not least, this is the TAFFY: $14.00 for the same, but in a different array of colors.

Howdy!

The Merriam-Webster's Dictionary states that an ARTISAN IS: one that produces something in limited quantities often using traditional methods. Yep, that's me! Artistry originates from the soul and is about expressing one's self. A TRUE artist creates from talent that is found from WITHIN, not from copying another! I want to share my love of art and design with you!

What IS Lampwork?

Not everyone understands what "Lampwork" means. SO, in my meager attempt to explain what it is, I hope it clarifies my lust for it!

Simply put, lampwork is: Glass beads made by hand with a torch. Individually made (one bead at a time) by melting skinny sticks of glass (called stringers) onto a non-stopping spinning mandrel (metal stick that makes the bead hole) in order to keep the bead's round symetrical shape. How's that for a run-on sentence??

To realize the patience and talent that goes into EACH and EVERY bead will make you a lover as well! The flowing scrolls take experience, the evenly spaced dots and swirls take a steady hand AND focused eye!

Each bead is a miniature 'Work of Art'! NOW do you understand why I LOVE and APPRECIATE them??
